    Well, got more than i expected today. Decided to do some early shedin nd was wanting to get back to a spot i hunted late season, where i had a very close encounter with 5 bucks that came in behind my overly obese tree :bash: Three were Dandys and i think this is one of them. I started in another location and worked my way back to where i think the bucks were bedding but definantly traveling through. I had finnaly made it to the spot and traveled around 100 yards back when at 30 yards i spoted what looked like a main beam, just looked out of place. When i walked up i was suprised to see both sides 5 yards apart. Its heavy and both brows are busted off. Id say he was a warrior and id like to see who busted him up. They were fresh enough they both had bloody spots on the burr and wax rings on both. Got them taped out now.
    Left 59 7/8" busted off G1
    Right 58 0/8" busted off G1
    Given a 16" spread = 133 7/8
    Given two 4" brows and 16" spread 141 7/8

    As found 2/9/09

    Very cool, especially finding them together like that, maybe it is common for the rest of you, but we rarely find them together.

    I would be pretty stoked knowing that buck is in the area for next year.......
